India built parks for capital. It never built them for labour.

Industrial parks gave capital roads, power and single-window clearance. The workforce that fills them still finds its own room, its own food, its own way home. That asymmetry is a choice.

India built parks for capital. It never built them for labour.

Every industrial corridor in India begins the same way. The state assembles land, lays power and water, builds the road to the gate, and clears the paperwork through a single window. Capital arrives to a finished platform.

The workforce arrives to nothing. The same corridor that guarantees a factory its electricity guarantees the worker who runs it almost nothing. Not a room. Not a clean meal. Not a safe way to send money home. He finds those himself, at a markup, from whoever is standing at the station.

The asymmetry is the point

We treat the factory as infrastructure and the worker as his own problem. One gets a park. The other gets a waiting room. The cost of that gap does not disappear. It lands on the worker as lost wages and on the employer as turnover.

Continuity infrastructure closes the gap from the labour side. Build the place the workforce lives, eats and saves with the same deliberateness we build the place it works. This is not welfare. It is the missing half of the park.
